ployed in the same Way and for the same purpose the anti frictionspacers shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 5. The rims of the retaining ringsprevent the outward radial displacement of the antifriction spacers, andthe inwardradial displacement of the anti friction spacers is preventedby hubs 0 of the retaining rings. The longitudinal move merit of theanti friction rollers limited by the anti friction spacers, which engagethe endsof the antifriction bearing rolle' s, and the inner faces of therecesses of the retaining The length of the antifriction spacers isslightly greater than the Width of the inner faces of the rims m so thatthey will hold, the ends of the anti friction rollers entirely clear ofcontact with the side edges oi. the rims m.

The revolution of the shaftoauses the in dependent revolution of eachantifriction hearing roller around its own axis, and the collectiverevolution of the anti friction hearing rollers around the of the sothat the Wear will he as nearly as possible, evenly distributed to eachanti friction hear ing roller, and to each part thereof.

By making the anti friction peoers of a greater length than. thetrunnions of the an tiiriction hearing rollers, it is possibie for-theantifriction hearing rollers to move for a limited distance endwise ineach direction-to clear themselves of the jam caused by the end thrustmovement of the line shaft, and by making the antifriction spzicers oigreater length than the distance between the inner faces m and m of therin'i, it is possible to prevent the antiiriction hearing rollers cominginto contact with the side edges oi the hearing rings.

What i claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

An anti friction hearing comprising a journal box, having a longitudinalbore there through, and composed oi two separable sections with meansfor fastening them together, there being flange seats Within the journalher: sections, retaining rings consist contained within means forteetening them together, eaid taining rings comprising annular rims, andside plates with longitudinal hores alined with the longitudinal bore ofthe journal box, antiiriction he ring rollers arranged in an ariliiularbetween the retaining rings and of less length tl'iarithe di.
